1967 Stock Train

Arriving at platform 2 of Walthamstow Central station from Brixton. The 1967 stock was built for the Victoria Line and has been in service since the line opened in 1968. Built by Metro-Cammell, the trains are capable of fully automatic operation with acceleration, coasting and braking controlled by signals received from track circuits. The system can be manually overridden if necessary. Between 1989 and 1997 the trains were refurbished by Tickford at Rosyth. The stock is currently the oldest tube stock in service on the London Underground and is in the process of being replaced by 2009 Stock (see Image). The last train of 1967 stock is scheduled to be withdrawn in the summer of 2011.
